The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Makhachkala, 1 January: A notebook with financial receipts and expenses
was found among the things of Umalat Magomedov, leader of the Dagestan
illegal armed underground who was killed in Khasavyurt on 31 January, a
representative of the press service of the FSB [Federal Security Service]
directorate for Dagestan told Interfax on Friday [1 January].
The income received by bandits through extortion from well-known Dagestani
entrepreneurs and businessmen and also financial aid from abroad - Saudi
Arabia, Turkey and Azerbaijan - was entered in the notebook, the press
service said.
"Judging by the notes, from the moment Magomedov was appointed the
so-called 'commander of the Dagestani front' in April 2009, he handled
tens of millions of roubles. He shared it with the leaders and members of
the illegal armed underground, and also spent it on building dug-outs;
buying arms, ammunition, technical equipment, medicines, foodstuffs, and
vehicles; and supporting members of families of those in illegal armed
groups who had been killed," the representative said.
"By eliminating Umalat Magomedov the system of self-financing of the
Dagestani illegal armed underground has in effect been destroyed," the
representative said. [Passage omitted]
